Until you live in a country that has a totally different culture...

Until you live in a country that has a totally different culture and values to your own, you will only view it with the values of your society. you will be critical of it and not understand that they see things and value things differently. This is all about power and what religious group have it. Democratic structures never work in these sort of societies. Best to stay out of it. The use of chemicals is simply not justifiable but in saying that it is with a view conditioned by my society. Obviously the people that used the chemicals have a different view. Same argument can be had over dropping bombs on civilians ie Hiroshima, Dresden or London.
